Re: I spent 4k on a watch

Wow it must feel amazing to treat yourself like that , I think it's a great thing to do . Bet you feel proud to have it on your wrist and I bet the salesperson loved you to . Enjoy

Re: I spent 4k on a watch

The salesperson asked about my purchase and we got into a conversation about my cancer - he seemed genuinely moved and thought it was a great way of treating myself.

I've been frugal for years, really, it annoys me that I have to get taxis to places I used to be able to walk to and back. At one point I was walking 9 miles a day but I have to realise my limits now and not be so tight as well.

Whilst in the mall I did get to M & S and bought a couple of salads and my favourite yogurt too.

Nice watch Richard, I say if you have the money and you like it, then why not spend it on something you like.

People spend it on worse so why not get a nice watch I guess.

That is quite a watch. If you can afford it, I say go for it.

I have champagne taste, but only money for beer....

Re: I spent 4k on a watch

My phone can, and that does me. It also tells me the time but I wanted this watch and may never get another chance of owning it for however long.
